Listened to my rockstar LP today, firstly T-series LPs are not as good as the ones from Saregama and Sony. Background noise is on the high side. LP arrived in perfect condition, thanks to Flipkart.
The cover - not used to having the inner folder of an LP listing mp3 songs and how to download them on mobile. They could have given us some pictures from the movie instead
The music - now, this is where the story gets sour. AR Rahman is by no means a rock musician and this shows very clearly in his rock numbers Naadan Parinda and Saadaa Haq, which are basically pop tunes with a guitaring. Orianthi's (of Michael Jackson's This is it fame) guitar is the only marginally positive side of Saadaa Haq. Naadan Parinda had shades of Deep Purple in the music. The rest of the record is just Bhangra crap. Infact my wife actually told me to turn off the record when she heard the very first track we played (on side-1) and that too, she's a Rahman fan. It was some crapy Punjabi folk song.
Summary, this is definitely not a record for lovers of heavy metal music like myself. Stay away from wanna-be rock music from our Indian film soundtrack music directors as they cater to the mainstream. Imagine if Rock star had a pro-rock or heavy metal soundtrack, they would not have sold too many records in the Indian market. This is one dumb Bhangra record and a complete waste of money for someone who listens to bands like Megadeth and Metallica.
Over all rating - very poor
This is my personal opinion, others may differ but this is for only the true lovers of rock out there. In India, even Sheila Ki Jawaani and Papa Kehte Hain are considered rock!! You've got to have the mainstream India music lover taste to stomach this record.
On the positive side, our corporate magazine is doing a feature on hobbies of our employees and this time, i'm being featured as an LP record collector. The photo will have me holding this Rockstar LP, so that people can identify with LP records as a current music media and not an ancient one

A good commercial for the Rockstar LP:lol:
frankly i have been getting lps from flipkart for a very long time now but have never faced the issue.
the collection which flipkart has is not available in all the shops for a physical sale. do keep that in mind. next time u buying you can tell them to be extra careful to pack and they do a decent job. also if you find complaints then i am sure they can handle that as well.
There are some issues with the new Indian releases. I had to go through 6 copies of Taare Zameen Par before i got a decent copy. I had to go through 4 copies before i got a decent 3 Idioits. Also Jodhaa Akbar, Dil To Paagal Hai and Rockstar seem to have some issues.

Do you have an issue with punjabu music?
Because they don't give 20% discount.

With such a flippant question in your 2nd post, some readers might certainly do have an issue with your grammar.
This made me laugh :lol: The reason i asked is because punjabi music was mentioned twice in the post and both times it said with negativity so I just wanted to know why the person had a problem with punjabi music. Plus it would really blow if they did cuz its been quite prevalent for quite some time!

Hi Amit,
I got a warped record a long time back from a physical shop due to my own carelessness in not checking it before handing over the cash. It was a 2 LP Ghulam Ali collection of ghazals, perhaps under the Polydor label. The shop refused to replaced it. Its still with me (the other LP is perfect). I'll now try to unwarp it using techniques discussed in this forum.
I agree with your caveat.
Regards.

yea, its the typical scenario with our rock bands...they have to indulge in such acts to stay commercially viable...George Peter, the front man of the Indian rock band 13-AD (once considered to be India's no#2 after Rock Machine/Indus Creed) can been seen on malayalam satellite channels singing mappilai pattus (malayali folk songs) and judging reality shows...unfortunately in India, rock music has a niche audience...here at Technopark in Trivandrum, they proudly announce rock concerts, when one actually shows up, the songs being played are from Tamil and Malayalam movies...
Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers in Red Mahogany finish at a Special Offer Price. BUY now before the price increase.
